2010 Porsche Cayman 3.4L Petrol · WHA 11E

The 2010 Porsche Cayman passed its most recent MOT on 2025-09-29 at 64,109 miles, confirming it remains roadworthy, though with two advisories that have persisted for multiple tests—rear brake disc wear and a non-excessive oil leak—indicating a stable but deteriorating trend rather than sudden failure. The consistency of these advisories over three consecutive years shows no acute mechanical breakdown, but their recurrence suggests deferred maintenance on high-wear components rather than a fundamental flaw. The vehicle has covered just 8,798 miles over the last five years (from 55,311 to 64,109), averaging under 1,800 miles annually, with the longest gap between tests being the 13-month interval from 2022-09-30 to 2023-10-10. This low usage aligns with the vehicle’s age of 16 years and supports the likelihood of extended idle periods, which can accelerate rubber and seal degradation, especially in seals and brake components that rely on regular movement. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear brake system—specifically the discs, pads, and calipers—since scoring and pitting have been flagged twice, potentially indicating binding calipers or insufficient pad material transfer over time. The persistent oil leak, while not excessive, warrants inspection of the engine and transmission seals, particularly around the rear main seal or valve cover gaskets, where age-related hardening is common. Additionally, given the low mileage and possible storage exposure, check suspension bushes, coil springs for corrosion, and the condition of brake hoses and fluid, as stagnant use can cause fluid contamination and rubber component fatigue even without high usage.
